Default World Wide Spy Network; Gov't Computers Hacked in Addition to Jolinar's E-mail

All in good fun, Jolinar .

http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2...et-spying.html

Canadian researchers have uncovered an internet spy network, based almost exclusively in China, that has hacked into computers owned by governments and private organizations in 103 countries.

...

"Significantly, close to 30 per cent of the infected computers can be considered high-value and include the ministries of foreign affairs in Iran, Bangladesh, Latvia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Barbados and Bhutan," the researchers said.

Other compromised computers were discovered at embassies of India, South Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Cyprus, Malta, Thailand, Taiwan, Portugal, Germany and Pakistan.

The list continues with the network infiltrating economic organizations in Southeast Asia, news organizations, and an unclassified computer located at NATO headquarters. Although almost all the hackers were based in China, the researchers could not say if they are working for the government.

I first became suspicous when Jolinar emailed me, "Much greetings to you, pajama! I am wondering your address, birthday, and mother's maid's name for calendar purpose? This morning I am well, but wonder as to these details which make our friendship not functional. Help is kindness!"

Good thing you alerted me or the Chinese gov't would have got all my porn and stolen my slashdot id. I owe you, man.
